Small cell organelles which are bounded by a single membrane that absorbs molecular oxygen and take part in oxidations other than those involved in respiration are known as Microbodies. The two types of Microbodies are Peroxisomes and Glyoxysomes.

# Peroxisomes
──────────────────────
➠ They are small membrane - enclosed organelles that contain enzymes which are involved in a variety of metabolic reactions including several aspects of energy metabolism.

# Glyoxysomes
──────────────────────
➠ The microbodies which occur during seed germination are called as glyoxysomes. They contain enzymes which are necessary for beta oxidation of fatty acids and glyoxylate pathways.
